'Looking for a fuel valve for the right side for a Fairchild 24.

If anybody knows of a place to find one I would appreciate it.

It was leaking in both on or off positions. I took it apart and have a simular fuel valve that have the same guts. Has anybody ever rebuilt one?

Thanks'

'You may want to keep what you have. They're very scarce. Take your time and do a very nice lap job so the surfaces look almost like glass. I'm guessing but I think the many years of turning only a quarter turn can make them a little out of round.

'HI All
I may have a couple more NOS fuel valves left over from my truck load of UC-61A/K parts.
I need to get out to the hangar this weekend and verify we have a couple spares left.

Looking for a fuel valve for the right side for a Fairchild 24.

If anybody knows of a place to find one I would appreciate it.

It was leaking in both on or off positions. I took it apart and have a simular fuel valve that have the same guts. Has anybody ever rebuilt one?

Thanks
